We all also know that guns are made for killing but they don't have such a problem to give gun licences.
Anyway you own your console and you have the right to do whatever you want with it and installing a mod chip doesn't force you to break any copyright laws.You have the right to be able to make your machine able to play pirated playstation games,cause the fact alone doesn't break any copyright made by any company does.Only games are copyrighted.
Next thing they must do according to that logic is to make cars illegal because they can be used in taking you to buy pirated CD's ...
What the FUCK are you smoking dude ?
The majority of people out there using burners are making backups of data on their PC like spreadsheets, word files, pictures, etc.
You could no more make burners illegal because people use them to pirate, than you could make a car illegal cause someone used one to go buy pirated material. Thats just fucking retarded to even try to argue.
When you buy software you buy a liscense that grants you the right to install a copy of that software onto the PC. You technically do not own it.
Just like you buy the right to view porn online, you don't own anything but you are granted access to the materials.
Modifying your hardware and the right to do so is a situation of
circumstance. If you deliberately modify your hardware for the specific reason of playing illegal copies, then in the eyes of the law your hardware has most likely become illegal.
Just like when some kid walks into a store and buys some white boys or blunts (which are perfectly legal by themselves) , and then goes and rolls a joint, it becomes part of the illegal act and ALL of it could be confiscated during an arrest.
Lets not beat around the bush here. Every person who bitches about these types of laws are just getting pissed cause they can't get shit for freee anymore and play their downloaded games. Well tough shit. Stop hiding behind stupid consumer laws that allow the backup of certain media that are prone to damage, you are only hurting the people who legitimately backup stuff.
Also. only games are copyrighted ? You need to get out more.
By the way sherlock, there are a lot of places in the U.S where you need a liscense to carry a firearm. I don't even understand what the point of brining up guns is. [/b][/quote]
ummm.....Neco
the reason he brought the fact of guns up is probly cuz hes trying to make a point
